Wind pains

[Hopexo1]

Hi guys I am 8+4 today and have cramping it’s odd cramping I think it might be from constipation build up has anyone suffered similar ?

Hi Lovely, congratulations I'm 21 weeks tomorrow and still getting all sorts of cramps and pains but they were worst at 7 to 12 weeks. Definitely some trapped wind and digestive discomfort but also everything is stretching and making space for your little one so you're bound to get some odd feelings. Give your GP a call if they are constant and really awful but make sure you're eating plenty of fibre (bran flakes for breakfast are great!) and drinking lots and lots of water and hopefully they'll ease soon.

Hi oh yes, the constipation 🥴it was awful around that time, it gets better, but then everyone is different. Drink plenty of water and try to eat smaller portions but more often.

Also walking was the best medicine, walk, walk ,walk xxxxx

Yes!! So bloated and gassy. And then there's the stretching and growing pains as well, it's pretty normal to feel a bit crampy and achy x

I was exactly the same! I’m convinced most of my cramping and abdominal bloating was mainly from the constipation and wind! It’s not very nice at all, very uncomfortable.

I had (and still do but it’s definitely lessening now at 10w4d) all sorts of twinges and cramping and after reading up about it constantly, finally believed that unless it’s more painful than period cramps and constant then it’s probably just normal.

I hope it eases for you soon but try and feel reassured that it means your body is working hard to prepare for your baby xx
